...Tate Donovan) is your basic mythic hybrid--half man, half deity--recast as a clumsy teen. Superman-strong and Bambi-naive, Herc is an ideal foil for wily Meg (a subtle siren, wonderfully voiced by Susan Egan). She plays Barbara Stanwyck to his Eddie Bracken, while a gruff satyr (Danny DeVito) acts as Herc's mentor and parries the anti-Olympus scheming of Hades (James Woods...

...weird place to be because in pop, women are always an endangered species. From Elvis to Eddie Vedder, modern pop has been a guy's game; the primal image is of a man and his guitar, the tortured satyr and his magic lute. And the women? They can scream in the audience or maybe sing backup. In childhood girls are no more encouraged to pick up a Les Paul Black Beauty than pilot an F-16. They are expected to play only one instrument: the voice...

...diavolo," remarked Marino, introducing him to one Roman patron -- This young man has the fury of a devil. Furia didn't simply mean rage; it suggested a state of inspiration, of contact with primeval forces that lie below the surface of culture -- the war god's frenzy, the satyr's beastliness, the erotic abandon of the maenad...
